Ok First off I just have to say I had heard that part of the structure that made this Donut Falls had fallen, but I wasn't prepared to be so sad to see it-or to NOT see it. See back in the old days there was a big almost cave like appearance. We would go in and there was a hole in the top and the water ran through. It is completely gone. So here are the pictures!
Jacob and Evan, I try to always invite extra friends to come with and this time Jacob's friend and his family came.
Owen and Adam
Cora and Kyle, Cora is Kyle's "Honey", he sticks to her like honey too! ;)
Way up there on the mountain are the Wright's; Debbie, Ellie and Ian
Bridgette (with Kaleb on her back) and Mom stayed down at the bottom while we all climbed up!
Owen and Adam again.
Cora and Mary
Sadie- she tries to be so brave. But really she is so scared to really climb around!
Yes I know I am a nerd!!
Ok I just loved this!! This was part of the portion that fell, You can see the moss on it and now the water runs over it. A lot of the moss was all dried up but it used to be on the top! Gosh Donut Falls used to be so mystical!!
Well the hike was easy. We got to the parking lot with another group. They started out a few minutes before us and we caught up with them on the trail. When we caught up we would wait for the rest of our group to catch up. There is a part where you climb down about 10 feet and that is where they thought they were on the wrong trail so they turned around. It has been years since I had been up there but I did remember it so I kept us going. I don't know how they could think they were in the wrong place since they climbed down. As soon as you climb down you walk around the corner and can see the falls. Perhaps they didn't know it had fallen. Well it is fine because like I said we had the place to ourselves for quite a while. When we climbed up I told the kids what it used to look like. I will have to find pictures!! I must have some somewhere!!
Ok this last picture is from Sunday! We went on a walk around Silver Lake. One of my favorite easy walks! The mosquitoes were out in full force so Don was saying let's go!
